These guidelines are for larger outboards with planing type hulls, not displacement hulls.
Your reference point is the lowest part of the hull, or keel.
When the anti-ventilation plate is in line with the bottom of the hull, this is Standard.
The engine can be raised 1in. ( 25mm ) above standard for every 10 MPH ( 17km/h ) above 40MPH ( 64km/h )
So if the boat can do over 40MPH ( 64km/h ) the engine can be lifted 1in. If the boat can do 50MPH ( 80.4km/h ) it can be lifted another 1 in. and if possible and the boat can do 60MPH ( 96.5km/h ) the motor can be lifted another 1 in.
So if you have an outboard that can run at 60MPH (96.5km/h ) then your engine should be no less that 3 in. above the lowest part of the boats hull.
But.... For every 12 in. ( 305mm ) the outboard is behind the transom, or a notch in the transom, the engine can be raised 1 in. ( 25mm ) above standard.
The rule in the outboard set up buisness, is that water exiting the bottom of the hull, when on the plane should not be flowing over the top of the anti-ventilation plate, but below it, this reduces drag on the lower unit.

Mix ratio for 1978 2 horse power evinrude outboard motor?
The mix ratio was probably 20-1 for the older motors due to the older technology oils, in any case the mix using the oil available today will be 50:1. works fine on our old 2 horse.
How you test the electric motor that it produces electricity?
Electric motors do not produce electricity, they use electricity, and convert that energy to another form of energy, that we measure in horsepower. See related links.
What is the part the outboard motor connects to?
An outboard motor generally is attached either directly to the transom of the boat, or to a bracket that is attached to the transom of the boat.
The transom is the?
At the back of the boat. The transom is reinforced to accommodate the boat motor.
Where is the vehicle identification number on a Yamaha outboard motor?

What is a transoom on a boat?
The transom on a boat is the stern on which an outboard motor can be clamped.

How do you find the year model with a serial number OT851539 to a mercury outboard motor?
Look for a silver tag on the starboard transom bracket
How do you use transom in a sentence?
The "transom" is the back of a boat or ship. For a small boat, an outboard motor might be attached to the transom; for a sailing vessel, the rudder may be attached to the transom. An example sentence might be:"We were on our way back to the dock when a fish jumped over the transom and landed in the boat!"
Where is the serial number located on a 1988 80 hp mercury outboard engine?
Should be on the transom bracket facing the motor on starboard side
Where is the serial number found on mercury outboard motor?
It depends on the year, but for the most part you will find them on the Starboard side of the engine on the transom bracket (where it connects to the boat.)
Where is the transom located?
At the back of the boat. The transom is reinforced to accommodate the boat motor.
What is the weight of a 50 hp Force outboard motor?
50 hp Force 2-Stroke Outboard Motor. Force 50 hp Outboard is a long shaft. Force 50 hp only weighs 152lbs!! It is one of the lightest 50hp outboards ever made. This is advantageous as it will deliver 50 hp without weighing the transom down.
